LAY LEADERSHIP

MATT SCHIERING

PRESIDENT

Matt and the Schiering family have been OJC members since they moved back to Rockland County (from PA) in 2007. He served on the Board from 2014-2017 and the Executive Board from 2015-2017. Matt’s wife, Maddy, has been active on numerous committees over the years as well. Their grown children, Jared and Rayna, were Bar/Bat Mitzvah at OJC. They all enjoyed their OJC family trip to Israel together in 2016; so much so that Matt returned in 2017 with Rabbi Drill and Rockland Federation (where Matt served on the Board) for a ‘community weaving’ pilgrimage.  Matt is a lifelong Business and Marketing Leader. He holds a B.S. from Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration and an M.B.A. from University of Texas (El Paso).  His leadership experience began with a four-year tour of duty as an officer in the U.S. Army and now spans 27years featuring significant time at companies including Johnson & Johnson and SCA.   In his spare time, Matt enjoys writing; he has been published several times in Brandweek® Magazine. He also enjoys playing music, proudly fronting the classic rock cover band, Vinyl Countdown.
